Sales Tip MOO

It's important to keep your name in front of your existing and potential clients.  Realtors do this very successfully via a "drip" e-mail campaign.
 
We can provide you with a similar "drip" marketing program in conjunction with Mutual of Omaha, a great household name carrier.  The program is referred to as Sales Illustrated.
 
Every week we can send you a Sales Illustrated e-mail that (1) describes a new sales idea from start-to-finish, and (2) includes a flyer for you to push out to your client list.  It is imprinted with your name and contact information.
 
Past issues of Sales Illustrated have included topics such as creating opportunities from a market decline, creating a supplemental retirement fund, preventing mortgage crisis, a self-completing college funding plan, business continuation, distributing estates equitably and an alternative to Roth IRA conversions for high-income individuals.
 
To sign-up for Sales Illustrated or to view some of the past issues please contact me at ext. 225.
 
Thank You for your time and your business!
